About GRIT - Stories of Resilience
GRIT can mean pebbles on the beach. It can also mean courage, passion, perserverance and even humilty. It is doing in an honorable way whatever it takes. GRIT is an essential characteristic of starting over in life when someone has hit a rough patch. With it, almost anything is possible. Without, not so much. This is a podcast about facing adversity, including mental health issues and starting over after a total career breakup. I talk candidly about it all and have interviews with many professional folks and friends who tell some of their own stories and searches for GRIT.

I think a lot of it comes from that. How stronger sense of self is, how. Usually the shame piece, we talk a lot about that in my line of work, that shame piece, the difference between guilt, I did something bad, and shame, I am something bad. I think a lot of the times it comes down to even when I do belong, maybe I feel like I shouldn't, or maybe I feel like I don't deserve to belong, which is all inner work, because you can have a million friends, but if you don't feel like you deserve it, What difference does it make?
